Title: Wanted: Famicom Disk System
Post by: japanfreak on March 14, 2009, 03:33:00 pm
Hello, I'm looking for a famicom disk system. The price needs to be round 40 dollars.

PS: Do I NEED to use the AC adapter from a famicom, or can I use the batteries too?
PS:PS: It should be suberb if I can get a cheap game with it!

Arregato Gozaimashita!! ^^

You can't use the same adapter as for the famicom. The disc system has it's own AC adapter, don't try to connect it with the famicom AC, you will blow your disc system ;)

No, but I mean: Can I use those batteries and not that adapter?

Yes you can and they work great. I've been using batteries to power my fds for a few months now! :)

It may be a little hard to find a FDS for $40...
I suggest Famicomshop.com or Risingstuff.com

/\  Andy is the one I got my Turbo Twin from and everything works flawlessly and arrived very quickly...even plays my NES games better with a converter than my NES (got a new 72 pin for the NES recently that was a dud  :'(... will have to try a gold one).

On the subject of batteries, does it matter where the batteries are from? Would I have to get Japanese batteries to use it like having to use the Japanese plug to play the Famicom? This is probably a dumb question, but better safe than sorry...

No. You can use regular batteries.

No need to get Japanese batteries.  ;) Besides, most of our batteries in the US are from China and Japan anyways.

Yeah, they should really start region locking batteries so I can get into that lucrative Import Batteries market.
